Gambling on Lao Part 2, Earth Report (low qual.),

Foreign investment is pouring into Laos - most of it into rubber plantations and other commercial exploitation of the land. But could this deluge of cash be putting Laos's rich biodiversity at risk?

The Earth Report was aired on BBC World in July 2010.

This film is the result of a collaboration of Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and tve (Television for Environment) since late 2008, when the first idea was launched for such a film. SDC has been the lead supporter all along, and the costs have been shared on an equal basis by GTZ, SIDA and SDC.

I think that Laos should invest in food crops for local consumption and export because the price of food is increasing worldwide.
